Potato Varieties

Potato varieties can be chosen by color or taste, but most gardeners start
out choosing by length of season. The lists below are divided into
early, mid and late season varieties.

These are just a few examples of the hundreds of varieties you can test in your Pocono garden.

An early season potato will be fully mature within 90 to 110 days of
sprouting. A mid season 100 to 120 days and so on. You will know when they are
ready to be harvested because the tops will begin to yellow & die back.

New potatoes can be dug after the plant has flowered. New potatoes do not
store. Use them within a few days of harvest.

Space Considerations

Space constraints can also be a factor in determining which variety of potato to grow.

If you live in an apartment or do not have the space for a traditional garden you can still grow potatoes in containers.
